Annie Lennox & David Stewart Sing Sweet DreamsReview created: 07/14/06(updated 03/07/07)

The Eurythmics are Annie Lennox (vocals, keyboards) & David A. Stewart (guitar, keyboards). Annie Lennox's dark seductive voice and counter-culture beauty only add the necessary jazzing up of the non-traditional rock-art songs with which they experiment. On this greatest hits album Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder join in. Let's call this 64 minutes of Lennox and Stewart's musical mastery vanilla mystery in comparison to some of their more controversial music from their 1981 and 1984 CDS.
The duo has been called "English art-rockers," for lack of a category to put their music into. The near mono-tone straight-faced Lennox lead singing "Sweet Dreams" is what made their name in the beginning. The song and the artist projected an erotica that was becoming public and visible in bigger US cities, like Seattle, DC, Minneapolis, Atlanta, La Vegas, and NYC. Song's like "Missionary Man," didn't take much of an imagination to understand the hidden meanings thereof. In "Sweet Dreams," it was Stewart's and Lennox's special keyboard effects that sounded like whips that made their music intriguing to an emerging US sexual counter-culture; plus, Lennox's range of voice that went into songful screams of ecstasy.
Track listing
1. Sweet Dreams
2. When Tomorrow Comes
3. Here Comes The Rain Again
4. Who's That Girl?
5. Would I Lie To You?
6. Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves
7. There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)
8. Missionary Man
9. Don't Ask Me Why
10. I Need A Man
11. Love Is A Stranger
12. Thorn In My Side
13. The King And Queen Of America
14. Angel
Their music always seems to leave me wanting and questioning, "did they really say and play what I just heard?" If it's erotica, it's understated enough to draw me into it.

I got this at a steal! I loved the Eurythmics in the late 80's and early 90's, so I know I will absolutely love this CD. Scott, the seller is someone I would buy from again. He is very honest and understanding. I hope we cross paths again.

Annie Lennox has the greatest voice of all times and the background vocalist is also great. I heard the song "Must have been an angel playing with my heart"playing in a department store one night and knew I had to have this. I went on line and found the song and the artist and purchased. I love this CD because it is pleasant to listen to.

Great music never goes out of style ,nor is ever forgotten.The cd of the Eurythmics is fantastic.Remembering when the songs were new., just out and what I was doing when I heard these songs for the first time. Now to listen once again to the upbeat and the mellow voice of Annie Lennox.From decade to decade music is ever changing,BUT great lyrics and style stay always fresh.

I used to listen to Annie Lenox back in the 80's and still now as an adult her songs resonate with my soul. My favorite is Missionary Man, not on this disk but a must have for my collection. Besides, she is totally HOT and rocks the "man" hair cut!

Everything I wanted in one nice package!Review created: 09/08/09
by:
After I heard the song, "Who's that Girl" and "I Need a Man" I had to buy this CD. I also found the song "Love is a Stranger" on this CD. I did not know who sang that song. A pleasant surprise. I love the entire collection album! However, I had to buy the last album "Peace" to get my fix for the song "I Saved the World Today." I made a personal mixed CD of Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics, but I did not have enough room on one CD for all my faves. No matter I Love the Eurythmics so much I have to keep all the CD's handy.
